Out on the weekend, spotted a group of wild woolies several ridges away and decided we needed some mutton.
Also a good chance for my 10yo Gunner to get his first trophy animal.
He knocked over this ram after a 45min stalk with a single shot to the heart with the 270. We had to be quite sneaky and wait for the animal to come down off the skyline several times.
His dad was pretty proud.

Wicked head, something l would really like to hunt! What a wonderful day with your son!
I've started putting some feed in the mouths of animals we shoot. Just a better visual than blood and tongues hanging out.Quote:

Its commonly understood that you "make your own luck" Lucky dad, lucky Son. Well done on the hunting and parenting!
The ram aside thats a beautiful looking rifle .
It's become a favorite thats for sure. Was great in Africa, loved the set trigger when shooting off the sticks. Looked good beside this elephant print too: Attachment 174309Quote:

That's a great first trophy, well done both you, cool rifle and great caliber.
Cool story, great to be sharing those moments with your boy. Great head, and I’ll echo the others with beautiful rifle too.
